Patent EP-0841462-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLEBROOK MARK
IPC: E21B7/08
Filed: 1997-11-04
Abstract: A downhole unit for use in subsurface boreholes, for example a bias unit for imparting a lateral bias to the drill bit to control the direction of drilling, includes a main body (26,28) and a number of pads (29) pivotally mounted on the main body for engagement with the walls of the borehole. A thrust member (34) is disposed inwardly of each pivotal pad (29) and is movable along a guide passage (32) in the main body to transmit movement to the pad. Each thrust member is movable by hydraulic pressure and a fluid-tight sliding seal (40) is provided between the thrust member and its guide passage. The outer surface of each thrust member (34) or the inner surface of the guide passage (32), or both, is in the form of a portion of a toroid centred on the pivot axis (31) of the respective pad (29) so as to minimise lateral movement of the seal as the thrust member moves along the passage. This also allows relative displacement between the thrust member (34) and pad (29) to be avoided, so that the thrust member can be integral with the pad or rigidly connected to it.

Abstract: Bidirectional scanning printheads (20, 20', 23-26)
discharge color-ink drops (18, 19) at ultrahigh resolution
while scanning in each direction (16, 17), to form color
swaths (Fig. 12) on a print medium (4A). The heads are at
least partially aligned with respect to the longitudinal
axis (85) of the medium, so that the swaths at least partly
overlap (86) in that direction. An advance mechanism
(31, 35) intermittently steps (42A) the print medium longitudinally,
to enable displacement of successive swaths.
A control system (15) alternates
     one full reciprocation (18, 19) of the heads, to
discharge drops while scanning each way across the
medium, with   each step (42A) of the advance mechanism.   
Preferably the heads print, while scanning each way, a
respective generally fixed nonzero fraction of the total
amount of each secondary color (23 plus 24, or 23 plus 25,
or 24 plus 25) to be printed. In this way the overall
appearance of each secondary is essentially consistent and
partway between two appearances respectively produced by
scanning two ways. This invention avoids the long-print-zone
drawbacks associated with full-height-staggered
heads. Preferably the fractions for all the swaths are
about equal, so that the consistent appearance for each
secondary is essentially the average of two appearances
respectively produced by scanning two ways. Various
printmasks complete each swath in eight passes with four
print-medium advances (Fig. 16), or four passes and two
advances (Fig. 21), or two and one (Fig. 22) - in each
case printing in every pass.

Abstract: An apparatus and method pulses a broadband optical source
such as an LED, and generates multiple optical wavelength signals
channels which are time division multiplexed onto a single optical channel.
The multiple optical wavelength signals may subsequently be modulated by
low frequency data signals and then transmitted to a receiver as
corresponding multiple independent optical wavelength channels over a
single optical fiber. Both spectral slicing and time division multiplexing
are accomplished by a wavelength channel defining assembly including a
wavelength grating router (WGR) and optical delay lines by using the
periodic routing characteristics of the WGR. The WGR separates the
broadband optical signal appearing at one input port of the WGR into
discrete wavelength bands constituting respective pulses defining the
optical wavelength channels by spectrally slicing the broadband optical
source frequency spectrum with a multiple channel filter. The WGR then
routes each of the wavelength signals to corresponding output ports.
Optical delay lines then loop-back the separate wavelength signals from the
output ports to other WGR input ports determined according to the routing
characteristics of the WGR to multiplex the channels onto a single output
port, while also inserting the delay to separate the wavelength signals in
time.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus determine a color for pixels in a
graphics system in which images are defined by pixels.
Multiple fragments of an image may be visible in any given
pixel. Each visible fragment has a fragment value that
includes the color of that fragment. For such given pixel,
up to a predetermined number of the fragment values are
stored. When a new fragment is visible in the given pixel,
one of the fragment values is discarded to determine which
fragment values are stored and subsequently used to
generate the color of the pixel. The discarded fragment
value may be the new fragment value or one of the stored
fragment values. Various strategies can be used to
determine which fragment value is discarded. One such
scheme selects the stored fragment value with the greatest
Z-depth. Another scheme selects the stored fragment value
that produces the smallest color difference from the new
fragment value. Still another scheme selects the new
fragment value when one of the fragments is in front of the
new fragment and the stored fragment value of that fragment
produces the smallest color difference from the new
fragment value.

disposed in parallel at a constant pitch, (b) deforming the
imaginary plane by a desired shape consisting of a convex surface,

cross hatching pattern (14) is deformed into a process surface, and (c)
processing a lens cut (5a) in accordance with the cross hatching pattern

performed so that the maximum pitch of the cross hatching pattern
orthographically projected onto the lens surface is 1.5 times or
more and 20 times or less the minimum pitch. The lens cut (5a) may have
curvatures of the same diffusion coefficient regardless of the pitch
of the cross hatching pattern (14). Alternatively, the lens cut (5a) may have
a curvature whose diffusion coefficient becomes greater when the
pitch of the cross hatching pattern becomes greater. A convex or
concave rib (14c) can be formed as a discontinuous portion in at least
a part of the substantial boundary between the process surface in
which the cross hatching pattern of the lens surface is deformed
and the process surface in which the cross hatching pattern is not

alcohol. The mixture is then transesterified with an alcohol in the presence
of a basic catalyst. After the transesterification, the excess lower alcohol
is distilled off from the reaction mixture. The transesterification catalyst and
the glycerol present, if any, are removed and the fatty acid alkyl ester is
distilled off from the mixture. Distillation of fatty acid alkyl esters can be
accomplished with a packed column in sequence with a wiped film
evaporator. The simultaneous recovery of tocopherol and sterol is possible.
Tocopherols and sterols can be separated by the crystallization of sterols
